Recapping a fun week at Fantasy Camp

The Yankees were gracious enough to invite me to their Fantasy Camp last week in Tampa, Fla. so I could chronicle what it is like to live your dreams and be able to take the field with and against the former greats. Someone summed it up perfectly when they said it is like getting to dig in against your baseball card collection. It was everything I hoped it would be and more.

Getting a chance to experience George M. Steinbrenner Field from the ‘other’ side – as in, not carrying a notebook around – was a pretty neat change of pace. Some people have asked if women are invited as well. The answer is that, yes, they are! We had one female camper playing with us in November and the Yankees are working on plans for an all-female camp in the near future.

Here are the daily diary entries I posted from Tampa, in case you missed them last week:
